It is the simplest of shapes and elegant to boot, the Triangle Drape Dress #PatternPuzzle was solved in an instant by our resident pattern champ Mioara.

And she was right, it is not a complicated style. Made in a lightweight silk/rayon jersey knit, the kimono style drapes beautifully through the side seam area as it collapses over the hip and hugs the thighs.Keep Reading...

SEWING PATTERNS

These are the first of my sewing patterns as PDF downloads for you to buy and sew. The more I sell the more time I have to make new ones. So if you fancy supporting the work I do here on the well-suited blog, this is your opportunity. These patterns are based on my size chart listed here on the website.

ALL MY GARMENT BLOCKS

Garment blocks are the basic template we use to make fashion patterns. They are not patterns in themselves as they have no design detail. My garment blocks also don't have any seam allowances as they are never sewn together once the fit is perfected. If you look at any of my Pattern Puzzle posts you'll see that I usually start with a block then modify to achieve my new design idea. These garment blocks are also based on my size chart as required for the mass production of fashion clothing.

WORKSHEETS - PDF DOWNLOADS
